Spoiler :

after all, at the end of The End of Evangelion, if he was able to bring Asuka back from the primordial soup, who's to say that he wasn't able to recreate the rest of the world?

Spoiler :

Asuka brought herself back. It was one of the things Yui mentioned right before Shinji rematerialized, that anyone could come back out of there if they willed themselves back.

I thought it was just Yui, it was actually her, Rei, and Kaworu that drove that point home. But the part of the movie it was in was still correct.

but Shinji was still the one that "willed" or rather wished for everyone to disappear... still doesn't explain why the oceans are still red in the rebuild movies =p

Does anyone know who currently owns the distribution and steaming rights of the original Evangelion series here in the U.S.? Because I've been wanting to see that for a while now, but I don't know where to legally find it.

It has always been held by ADV Films in the U.S. and Canada, with the movies held by Manga Entertainment, and the Rebuild movies held by Funimation. When ADV broke up into smaller 'companies' (if that's what you want to call it; Section23 is the umbrella they all operate under, with Sentai Filmworks being the most notable), it got inherited by one of said divisions - from what Wikipedia reports, specifically AEsir Holdings.

New Evangelion 3.0 update. With the release of the movie exactly 1 month away now, looks like a new trailer is now amongst us.

But then it was time, 3am EST rolls around and Niconico (Japan’s very popular version of Youtube) does their new live release broadcast. People without premium accounts got kicked off as resources were reserved for people with premium accounts. Around 6am EST we finally got something. A short trailer-of-sorts for Evangelion 3.0, you can grab a copy of it HERE.

Amongst things of note:

Shinji looks kind of pissed off, but that’s nothing new in these new movies. Kaworu is actually interacting with people (more importantly with Shinji). Asuka space scene, which we’ve previously seen in an unfinished TV-only preview Looks like a Kaworu + Shinji doing a “Quatre-mains” on a piano (Shinji’s hands being the less pale ones). Oh, and there’s one smug Mari

I have to say this brand new one shows a lot compared to what we've been seeing in the past. I can safely say that there are two things that I am now very excited for in the month of November. Episode 5 of Tell Tale's The Walking Dead and this movie.
